INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT Board of Trustees Mastery Charter School ‐ Clymer Elementary Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities and the general fund of Mastery Charter School – Clymer Elementary, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2013, the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the entity’s basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Opinions

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective financial position of the governmental activities and general fund of Mastery Charter School – Clymer Elementary as of June 30, 2013, and the respective changes in financial position for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America Change in Accounting Principle

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, Mastery Charter School – Clymer Elementary implemented the provisions of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statements No. 63 –Financial Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of Resources, and Net Position for the year ended June 30, 2013, which represents a change in accounting principle. The adoption of this standard did not have any financial impact on the School’s financial statements. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter. Other Matters

Required Supplementary Information

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management’s discussion and analysis and the schedule of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance‐ budget and actual on pages 4 through 6 and page 23 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. Report on Summarized Comparative Information

We have previously audited Mastery Charter School – Clymer Elementary’s 2012 financial statements, and we expressed an unmodified audit opinion on those audited financial statements of the governmental activities and general fund in our report dated November 14, 2012. In our opinion, the summarized comparative information presented herein as of and for the year ended June 30, 2012, is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial statements from which it has been derived.

The schedule of expenditures of federal awards, as required by U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A‐133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non‐Profit Organizations is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. The schedule of expenditures of federal awards is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional

MASTERY CHARTER SCHOOL – CLYMER ELEMENTARY MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (UNAUDITED)

JUNE 30, 2013

(4)

The Board of Trustees of Mastery Charter School – Clymer Elementary (the School) offers readers of the School’s financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the School for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. This is the School’s first year of operations. We encourage readers to consider the information presented here in conjunction with the School’s financial statements. Financial Highlights

Total revenues increased by $457,414 to $7,119,975 primarily due to an increase in the student subsidies for the year ended June 30, 2013.

At the close of the current fiscal year, the School reports an ending general fund balance of $541,263. The general fund balance increased from the previous year end general fund deficit as the result of a $548,736 excess of revenues over expenditures for the year ended June 30, 2013.

The School’s cash balance at June 30, 2013 was $719,351.

Overview of the Financial Statements

The discussion and analysis is intended to serve as an introduction to the School’s basic financial statements. The School’s basic financial statements as presented comprise four components: Management’s Discussion and Analysis (this section), the basic financial statements, required supplementary schedule and reporting requirements under Government Auditing Standards and OMB Circular A‐133. Government‐Wide Financial Statements

The government‐wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the School’s finances, in a manner similar to a private‐sector business. The statement of net position presents information on all of the School’s assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the School is improving or deteriorating. The statement of activities presents information showing how the School’s net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. The government‐wide financial statements report on the function of the School that is principally supported by subsidies from school districts whose constituents attend the School. Fund Financial Statements

A fund is a group of related accounts that are used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or purposes. The School, like governmental type entities, utilizes fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance‐related legal requirements. The School has only one fund type, the governmental general fund. Notes to the Financial Statements

The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government‐wide and fund financial statements.

Government Fund

The focus of the School’s governmental fund is to provide information on near‐term inflows, outflows, and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the School’s financing requirements. In particular, fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending for program purposes at the end of the fiscal year. The School’s governmental fund, (the General Fund), reported an ending fund balance of $541,263. For the year ended June 30, 2013, the School’s revenues ($7,119,975) exceeded expenditures ($6,571,239) by $548,736. General Fund Budgetary Highlights

Actual revenues were less than budgeted revenue by $22,398 due to lower than budgeted state and other sources. Actual expenditures were lower than budgeted expenditures by $267,841 due to lower than budgeted instruction, support, and non‐instructional services expenditures. Capital Asset

As of June 30, 2013, the School’s investment in capital assets for its governmental activities totaled $915,276 (net of accumulated depreciation). This investment in capital assets includes leasehold improvements, furniture and fixtures and equipment. Major capital asset purchases during the year included the following:

Capital expenditures of $360,580 for equipment

Capital expenditures of $55,946 for furniture

Capital expenditures of $61,120 for leasehold improvements

Capital expenditures of $13,970 for software

Additional information on the School’s capital assets can be found in Note 3 of this report. Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budgets and Rates

The School’s primary source of revenue, the School District of Philadelphia subsidy, will increase 6% from $8,096 to $8,597 for regular education students and increase 13% from $19,660 to $22,242 for special education students. Future Events that will Financially Impact the School

Due to the budget deficits at the Commonwealth of PA and the School District of Philadelphia, we expect funding cuts will occur in future years. These cuts can have a significant impact financially. Contacting the School’s Financial Management

The financial report is designed to provide interested parties a general overview of the School’s finances. Questions regarding any of the information provided in this report should be addressed to the Chief Financial Officer, Mastery Charter School – Pickett Campus, 5700 Wayne Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19144.

NOTE 1 BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Background

Mastery Charter School – Clymer Elementary (School) was formed as a Pennsylvania nonprofit corporation to operate in accordance with Pennsylvania Act 22 of 1997. The initial charter was granted by the Commonwealth on April 27, 2011. The current charter is for a five‐year term from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2016. During the year ended June 30, 2013, the School served approximately 515 students in grades kindergarten through eight.

Basis of Presentation

The financial statements of the School have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to governmental units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing government accounting and financial reporting principles. The GASB has issued a codification of governmental accounting and financial reporting standards.

Comparative Financial Information

The financial statements include certain prior year summarized comparative information in total. Such information does not include sufficient detail to constitute a presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, such information should be read in conjunction with the School’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2012 from which the summarized information was derived. Certain items in prior year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Government‐Wide and Fund Financial Statements

The government‐wide financial statements (the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report on the School as a whole. The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of the School’s function are offset by program revenues.

The fund financial statements (governmental fund balance sheet and statement of governmental

fund revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balance) report on the School’s General Fund. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation

Government‐wide Financial Statements:

The statement of net position and the statement of activities are prepared using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred regardless of the timing of the related cash flows. Grants and similar items are recognized as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by provider have been met.


JUNE 30, 2013

(14)

NOTE 1 BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation (Continued)

Fund Financial Statements:

Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the School considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting.

The government reports the following major governmental fund: General Fund – The General Fund is the operating fund of the School and accounts for all

revenues and expenditures of the School. Method of Accounting

Accounting standards requires a statement of net position, a statement of activities and changes in net position. It requires the classification of net position into three components – net investment in capital assets; restricted; and unrestricted. These calculations are defined as follows:

Net investment in capital assets – This component of net position consists of capital assets, including restricted capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and reduced by the outstanding balances of any bonds, mortgages, notes, or other borrowings that are attributable to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of those assets. If there are significant unspent related debt proceeds at year‐end, the portion of the debt attributable to the unspent proceeds are not included in the calculation of net investment in capital assets. Rather, that portion of the debt is included in the same net position component as the unspent proceeds. The School presently has no debt related to the capital assets.

Restricted – This component of net position consists of constraints placed on net position use through external constraints imposed by creditors such as through debt covenants, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments or constraints imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. The School presently has no restricted net position.

Unrestricted net position – This component of net position consists of net position that do not meet the definition of “restricted” or “net investment in capital assets.”


JUNE 30, 2013

(15)


Method of Accounting (Continued)

In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report nonspendable portions of fund balance related to prepaid expenses, long term receivables, and corpus on any permanent fund. Restricted funds are constrained from outside parties (statute, grantors, bond agreements, etc.). Committed fund balances represent amounts constrained for a specific purpose by a governmental entity using its highest level of decision‐making authority. Committed fund balances are established and modified by a resolution approved by the Board of Trustees. Assigned fund balances are intended by the School to be used for specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed. Unassigned fund balances are considered the remaining amounts. When expenditures are incurred for purposes for which both restricted and unrestricted fund balance are available, it is currently the School’s policy to use restricted first, then unrestricted fund balance. When expenditures are incurred for purposes for which committed, assigned, and unassigned amounts are available, it is currently the School’s policy to use committed first, then assigned, and finally unassigned amounts.

Budgets and Budgetary Accounting

Budgets are adopted on a basis consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. An annual budget is adopted for the General Fund.

The Budgetary Comparison Schedule should present both the original and the final appropriated

budgets for the reporting period. The School only has a general fund budget; an original budget was filed and accepted by the Labor, Education and Community Services Comptroller’s Office in June 2012. An amended budget was approved by the Board of Trustees in January 2013. The budget is required supplementary information.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Periodically, the School may maintain deposits in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s limit of $250,000, with financial institutions. At times, cash in bank may exceed FDIC insurable limits.


JUNE 30, 2013

(16)


Significant Accounting Estimates—Self‐Insured Claims

As of July 1, 2011, the School entered into a self funded benefit payment plan (“plan”), which covers eligible employees/members and dependents of each of the Mastery Charter Schools and NST (“the Schools”), as defined in the agreement. The Mastery Charter High School (“MCHS”) is the plan sponsor of the plan. The Schools are primarily self‐insured, up to certain limits, for employee group health claims. The plan has purchased stop‐loss insurance, which will reimburse MCHS for individual claims in excess of $100,000 annually or aggregate claims exceeding $1,000,000 annually. During the year ended June 30, 2013, each school paid premiums to MCHS based on an 1) previous years claims and premiums experience, 2) actual claims for the year ended June 30, 2013 and 3) claims incurred but not reported. Such estimates were provided by the School’s benefits consultant. The self‐insured claims liability for all schools, which includes incurred but not reported losses, amounts to $1,396,931 as of June 30, 2013 and is reflected on the books of MCHS as an accrued liability. The total expense under the program was approximately $5,610,533, which includes the School’s portion of $279,010 for the year ended June 30, 2013.

The determination of such claims, premiums and expenses and the appropriateness of the related liability is continually reviewed and updated. It is reasonably possible that the accrued estimated liability for self‐insured claims may need to be revised in the near term.

Cash

The School’s cash is considered to be cash on hand and demand deposits. Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable primarily consist of amounts due from the Pennsylvania Department of Education for federal, state and local subsidy programs. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. As of June 30, 2013, no allowance for doubtful accounts was deemed warranted based on historical experience.

Prepaid Expenses

Prepaid expenses include payments to vendors for services applicable to future accounting periods such as insurance premiums. Capital Assets

Capital assets, which include property and equipment, are reported in the government‐wide financial statements. All capital assets are capitalized at cost and updated for additions and retirements during the year. The School does not possess any infrastructure. Improvements are capitalized; the cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend an asset’s life are not. Capital assets of the School are depreciated using the straight‐line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets except for leasehold improvements which are limited to the shorter of the life of the School’s Charter or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. Software costs are depreciated over thirty‐six months using the straight‐line method.


JUNE 30, 2013

(17)


Income Tax Status

NOTE 4 REVENUE Charter schools are funded by the local public school district in which each student resides. The rate

per student is determined annually and is based on the budgeted total expenditure per average daily membership of the prior school year for each school district. The majority of the students for the School reside in Philadelphia. For the year ended June 30, 2013, the rate for the School District of Philadelphia was $8,096 per year for regular education students plus additional funding for special education students and transportation. The annual rate is paid monthly by the School District of Philadelphia and is prorated if a student enters or leaves during the year. Total revenue from these sources was $5,658,460 for the year ended June 30, 2013.

NOTE 5 GOVERNMENT GRANTS AND REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAMS The School participates in numerous state and federal grant and reimbursement programs, which

are governed by various rules and regulations of the grantor agencies. Costs charged to the respective grant programs and reimbursement programs for social security taxes, retirement expense, facility lease expense and health services are subject to audit and adjustment by the grantor agencies; therefore, to the extent that the School has not complied with the rules and regulations governing the grants and reimbursement programs, refunds of any money received may be required and the collectability of any related receivable at June 30, 2013 may be impaired. In the opinion of the School, there are no significant contingent liabilities relating to compliance with the rules and regulations governing the respective grants; therefore, no provision has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements for such contingencies.

NOTE 6 PENSION PLAN Plan Description:

The School contributes to the Public School Employees’ Retirement System (the System), a governmental cost‐sharing multiple‐employer defined benefit pension plan. The plan provides retirement and disability benefits, legislatively mandated ad hoc cost‐of‐living adjustments, and healthcare insurance premium assistance to qualifying annuitants. The Public School Employees’ Retirement Code (Act No. 96 of October 2, 1975, as amended) (24 Pa.C.S. 8101‐8535) assigns the authority to establish and amend benefit provisions to the System. The System issues a comprehensive annual financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information for the plan. A copy of the report may be obtained by writing to Diane J. Wert, Office of Financial Management, Public School Employees’ Retirement System, P.O. Box 125, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17108‐0125. This publication is also available on the PSERS website at www.psers.state.pa.us/publications/cafr/index.htm. Funding Policy:

The contribution policy is established in the Public School Employees’ Retirement Code and requires contributions by active members, employers and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Member contributions are as follows:

‐ Active members who joined the System prior to July 22, 1983, contribute at 5.25%

(Membership Class T‐C) or at 6.5% (Membership Class T‐D) of the member’s qualifying compensation.

‐ Members who joined the System on or after July 22, 1983, and who were active or inactive as of July 1, 2001, contribute at 6.25% (Membership Class T‐C) or at 7.5% (Membership Class T‐D) of the member’s qualifying compensation.

‐ Members who joined the System after June 30, 2001, contribute at 7.5% (automatic Membership Class T‐D). For all new hires and for members who elected Class T‐D membership, the higher contribution rates began with service rendered on or after January 1, 2002.

‐ Members who joined the System after June 30, 2011 would become Class T‐E member or, alternatively, elect to become a class T‐F member. The base contribution rate for Class T‐E members is 7.50% of compensation. The base contribution rate for Class T‐F members is 10.30% of compensation. Class T‐E and Class T‐f members are subject to a “shared risk” employee contribution rate.

Employer contributions are based upon an actuarial valuation. For fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, the rate of employer’s contribution was 12.36% of covered payroll. The 12.36% rate is composed of a pension contribution rate of 11.50% for pension benefits and 0.86% for health care insurance premium assistance.

Payroll expense for employees covered by the System for the year ended June 30, 2013 was

approximately $3.1 million.

NOTE 6 PENSION PLAN (CONTINUED) In accordance with Act 29 of 1994, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania will pay school entities for

contributions made to the System based on the formula in Act 29 of 1994, but not less than one‐half of the school entities contributions. The School’s contributions to the Plan for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 totaled $290,478 and $248,234, respectively.

Effective July 1, 2012, the School was part of the Mastery Charter School 403(b) Retirement Plan, a multiple employer defined contribution plan under Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, which employees of the School can elect to contribute. Employees, who do not participate in the PSERS retirement plan, can contribute up to 5% of their qualified compensation, with the School matching up to 5% of their qualified compensation. Employees who participate in the PSERS retirement plan can also participate in the 403b plan, but these 403b contributions are not matched by the School. The School’s contribution to the Plan for the year ended June 30, 2013 was $25,167.

NOTE 7 RISK MANAGEMENT The School is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts: theft of, damage to, and destruction of

assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; and natural disasters. The School carries commercial insurance for such risks. Settled claims resulting from these risks have not exceeded commercial insurance coverage.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING AND ON COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN

ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS

Board of Trustees Mastery Charter School – Clymer Elementary Philadelphia, Pennsylvania We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the governmental activities and the general fund of Mastery Charter School – Clymer Elementary, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2013, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise Mastery Charter School – Clymer Elementary’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated December 10, 2013. Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered Mastery Charter School – Clymer Elementary’s internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Mastery Charter School – Clymer Elementary’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Mastery Charter School – Clymer Elementary’s internal control. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.


(26)

Compliance and Other Matters

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Mastery Charter School – Clymer Elementary’s financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. Purpose of this Report

The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the result of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity’s internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

Management’s Responsibility

Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to its federal programs. Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of Mastery Charter School – Clymer Elementary’s major federal programs based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A‐133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non‐Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A‐133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about Mastery Charter School – Clymer Elementary’s compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each major federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of Mastery Charter School – Clymer Elementary’s compliance. Opinion on Each Major Federal Program

In our opinion, Mastery Charter School – Clymer Elementary complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2013.

Report on Internal Control Over Compliance

Management of Mastery Charter School – Clymer Elementary is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we Mastery Charter School – Clymer Elementary’s internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal program to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for each major federal program and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A‐133, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Mastery Charter School – Clymer Elementary’s internal control over compliance. A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
